Siheyuan: How dare I mess with a man who is an expert in men's health?

In the hospital ward, Shu's mother's condition has stabilized.

Her disease is a long-term chronic disease. When the condition is serious, she will be weak and bedridden, but it is not fatal in a short period of time.

Shu Meng sat aside, worried. She thought her mother's condition had stabilized temporarily, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly feel weak all over and have a high fever at noon.

She suspected that her mother was worried about her during the general meeting that night, so she disobeyed her instructions and hid secretly at the Chuihua Gate, where she caught a cold.

Therefore, she hated Jia Zhang even more, but when she thought that she had been driven to the countryside, the frustration in her heart disappeared a lot.

Seeing her daughter's worry, Shu's mother felt very guilty. She forced herself to cheer up and smiled and comforted her:

"Don't worry, Xiao Meng, I'm much better now. It's just a common cold, but I'm weak so it looks serious.

You haven't had lunch yet, go home quickly, there are doctors and nurses in the hospital, nothing will happen."

Shu Meng shook her head: "I'm worried, so I'll just get food at the hospital. I got my salary yesterday, so I don't have to be as careful with my budget as before."

Shu's mother sighed and persuaded: "Hey...it's really okay, you still have to go to work tomorrow.

Besides, you have to bring dinner to me after you prepare it. It will be dark if you keep going back and forth.

I won't be at ease if you delay going back until night!"

Shu Meng was still stubborn: "I'll take two days off and wait until you are discharged from the hospital."

Shu's mother's expression suddenly became serious, she grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!

You took so long to join the company, but you asked for leave after just one day of work. What will your boss and colleagues think?

Besides, you are a formal worker now, and my hospitalization allowance can be reduced by half. Are you worthy of the steel mill's attention to you by taking leave for just a small matter?

Go back quickly, or I will be discharged directly from the hospital!"

The reason why Shu's mother spoke so seriously was not because she was so conscious, but because she was simply afraid of ruining her daughter's future.

When she was bedridden before, she had repeatedly advised Shu Meng to report to the steel mill, but her condition was serious at the time and it looked like she would not be able to survive for long, so Shu Meng missed the reporting time again and again.

Shu Meng had no choice but to agree to go back and cook, knowing that her mother was worried about her work. As for whether to ask for leave, she had to wait until she asked the doctors and nurses.

Seeing her daughter agree, Shu's mother smiled again and reminded:

"By the way, remember to thank Doctor Cao. He not only sent me to the hospital, but also used up his connections in this hospital. Otherwise, my treatment would not have been so timely."

Shu Meng nodded. She remembered that when she came here, Mr. Huang asked her to let him know if she had anything to say. He must be doing Cao Anping a favor. This time, she owed him a big favor.

......

It was only four o'clock in the afternoon when Shu Meng returned to the courtyard to cook dinner.

She took out the rice and flour that she had saved for the New Year and prepared to make porridge for her mother to use for her recovery.

She had originally planned to use only half of it, but she glanced towards Cao Anping's house, gritted her teeth and took it all out.

The other party helped so much, she couldn't just go and say thank you.

Although she guessed that the other party should have everything he needed, she still had to show some sincerity.

Cao Anping was bored at home, so he started tinkering with the Dragon Essence and Tiger Meng Pills again. The fifth master from the black market collected enough medicinal materials for him.

There are many rare and precious medicines among them, so he naturally has to keep his promise and exchange them for the Dragon Essence Tiger Pills.

"Dong Dong~"

Hearing the knock on the door, Cao Anping frowned and put the whole pot of medicinal materials into the space.

It's not that he wants to keep it secret, but this is the only way to maintain the right temperature. Otherwise, he can't interrupt the process of making the medicine.

When he opened the door and saw Shu Meng holding a bowl, he asked in surprise, "Comrade Shu, what are you doing?"

Shu Meng bowed again and said gratefully, “I was too anxious at the hospital and didn’t thank you properly.

Thanks so much to you today, this is some porridge I made.

I know you don’t need anything, but this is a small gift from me, please accept it.”

Cao Anping waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's just something that happens easily, don't take it to heart.

I have received your kindness, but you can take the things back. Food is scarce in every household these days, so you should use them to nourish your mother.

Uh...I don't mean to be disgusted."

Cao Anping could tell at a glance that the mother and daughter were malnourished, and he really didn't care about helping them, so naturally he refused to accept them.

Although he has no ambition, is vindictive, is a loser, and has a lot of problems.

But for those who don't dislike me, I always give them a yard when they treat me well. Otherwise, I would not help Xu Damao.

But Shumeng still insisted, “Although you did it out of convenience, it is a great favor to me.

Besides, I have already entered the steel mill, so I won’t be hungry anymore.”

Cao Anping thought to himself that you are quite stubborn, so he could only take it and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll take it.

But let’s not mention this anymore. We are all neighbors, and it’s normal to help each other.

Wait a minute, I'll give you your bowl back."

Cao Anping entered the room, opened the lid, and saw steaming rice porridge emitting a fragrant aroma.

The porridge is very thick, it is cooked with flour, and there are some oil drops floating in it.

In this year, it is considered a good thing. Considering that both of them are malnourished, this food should depend on the family's financial situation.

He sighed, poured the porridge into his bowl, took out two boiled eggs, put them in the bowl, and covered the lid again.

Cao Anping didn't have any thoughts just because the other party was a woman, nor was he a good guy. He was simply reciprocating courtesies.

Even though the second uncle's family gave him gifts several times, he never let the other party suffer any loss.

Shu Meng took the bowl and felt that the weight was wrong. After opening it and seeing two eggs inside, he looked puzzled.

Before she could speak, Cao Anping quickly said, "Don't get me wrong, we are all neighbors. This is a gift from me for visiting a patient. I hope your mother will recover soon."

"this..."

Shu Meng wanted to say something, but Cao Anping immediately drove her away: "Okay, okay, I still have things to do, go and take care of the people in the hospital."

After saying that, he closed the door, leaving Shu Meng dumbfounded.

She knew that her bowl of porridge was not worth even as much as two eggs, so how could she be considered taking advantage by coming to express her gratitude?

However, seeing that some neighbors were already looking over here, she didn't want to continue knocking on the door. She could only sigh and leave with the bowl in her hand.

Only two minutes later, someone knocked on Cao Anping's door again.

When he saw Xu Damao peeking in with a sly look on his face, he angrily scolded:

"Brother Damao, can you please control your expression? It's really too vulgar."

Xu Damao chuckled and asked curiously, "What did the new girl give you?

What's going on? Could it be that she has a crush on you?"

Cao Anping rolled his eyes and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business. I just helped a little, so I'm just thanking you.

Stop being so gossipy and just worry about yourself. You have dark circles under your eyes. You don’t have to work so hard to have a baby!

Haven't you heard of 'restoring your energy'? Too much is not necessarily a good thing."

After Cao Anping finished speaking, he closed the door again, leaving Xu Damao with an embarrassed look on his face, thinking to himself:

'It seems to be too frequent these days. Isn't it true that the more times you do it, the greater the chance that the seeds will germinate?'

Ordinary people of this era don’t really have much knowledge about physiology and hygiene, and know even less about ovulation.

Everyone thinks that if you want to have children, you have to work hard at night.
